Lecture Overview:

In partnership with Maryland Naturopathic Doctors Association (MNDA), the MUIH Nutrition Department presented the 2018 Nutrition Symposium, Nutritional Genomics in Clinical Practice. 

The field of nutrigenomics emphasizes the critical intersection of nutrition and genetic expression, and MUIH’s symposium centered specifically on translating nutrigenomics information for the clinician and clinical practice. The recorded presentation from the symposium by Dr. Tara Nayak will allow you to learn the science behind the field and gain practical skills to apply in practice to meet the growing patient and client demand for information.

This presentation offers a primer on nutrigenomics and how it applies in clinical practice.
